Lecture by Juan Elvira (MURADO&ELVIRA)
Juan Elvira, architect and co-founder of Madrid-based architecture studio MURADO&ELVIRA, will lecture on Tuesday 4 February 2025 at 3 pm at Kent State University Florence CAED. His lecture, titled Myspace: an Architectural Appropriation, will focus on the Teknobyen Student Housing in Trondheim, Norway—a project MURADO&ELVIRA completed a few years ago. As the architects describe, the project “unifies situations of extreme intimacy with those of extroversion and collaboration,” making it a valuable reference for this semester’s Architecture Studio project brief.
Murado & Elvira is a Madrid-based multidisciplinary office founded by Juan Elvira and Clara Murado in 2003 dedicated to innovative architecture and interior design. Their work has been awarded in many national and international competitions, and has been exhibited at prestigious venues such as the Biennale di Venezia and the Bienal de Arquitectura Española. They have been finalists at the Norwegian national architecture prize Staten Byggeskikkpris 2012 and selected at the Bienal Española de Arquitectura y Urbanismo 2013. In 2018 they were nominated for The European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Award for their Baiona Public Library project.
